'ana 'Uhibbouk

Smile your love across my life
Hold my face inside your thoughts
Talk with fingers on my spine
Whisper your lips over my longing

Fold your warmth around my ice
And speak with words so soundless

          "'ana 'uhibbouk
          Je t'aime
          Ich liebe dich
          I love you"

I spell your sibilants breathlessly
Until you arch me to a crescent
Screaming your name in silence
Under your fingers I come alive

Your name, love, your passion
Imploding explosively

I love how your words come alive <3 Even though had to look up a few, sibilants and 'ana 'uhibbouk, it is fun to learn new words! :) Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/2/2017 11:44:00 PM Sibilants is a great word, isn't it?

Chris Green Date: 3/2/2017 9:49:00 AM Such a beautiful love poem my friend. but I have to ask, no matter how dumb it makes me look, the first "italicized line", what language is that? Login to Reply Darren White Date: 3/2/2017 9:55:00 AM That is not dumb at all, there are no dumb questions :) It is Arabic, my native language, and it simply means I Love You.

Lisa Ricci Date: 3/2/2017 4:31:00 AM Well now. And yes, wow. Explosive, passionate, alive and so much more come to mind. The emotive factor is ever present. Oh the red of it all.
